Under Fu Ji's guidance, Zhang Yu placed a half-burnt candle in the middle of the stool, with a cell phone behind it and two open flashlights on either side. Then, he picked up a wire and circled the stool.
After setting up the ritual, Zhang Yu asked with some disbelief, "Is this ritual really reliable?"
Fu Ji snorted, "In the entire first layer of Kunxu, no one knows rituals better than I do. What problem could there be?"
"Even if there is a problem, it's only because the ritual materials you prepared are of poor quality."
"Alright, next, do as I say and start the ritual directly!"
Following Fu Ji's instructions, Zhang Yu walked around the circle formed by the wire, hearing Fu Ji chanting mysterious incantations in his ear.
The next moment, as the half-burnt incense candle on the altar turned to ashes, a trace of extremely subtle divine power floated above the ritual.
Fu Ji shouted in a low voice, "There's a worm, there's a worm, extract the shadow, divine power of heaven and earth, hurry as the law commands!"
That faint divine power suddenly revealed a hint of eerie aura and had been temporarily controlled by Fu Ji.
Listening to Fu Ji's voice, Zhang Yu felt as if she was running out of strength.
Obviously, this extremely weak evil god was in very poor condition, as she had said, to the point that even completing this ritual was shaky.
In the next instant, this divine power drilled into Zhang Yu's shadow.
A roar came from the shadow.
Immediately afterward, a small black worm struggled to crawl out.
After Fu Ji's controlled divine power stalemated with the black worm for a long time, she lightly shouted and barely managed to say, "Hmph, disperse for me!"
The black worm struggled again before gradually bursting apart.
Countless black incantations suddenly burst out from the worm's body, floating in front of Zhang Yu like thick smoke.
Zhang Yu asked, "What is this thing?"
"This is the Shadow Gu," Fu Ji said wearily, "The so-called Shadow Gu is essentially a tool condensed from evil god power."
Fu Ji took a deep breath, and the incantations in the sky poured into her body, being absorbed by her.
Fu Ji continued to introduce, "The person who initiates the ritual wants to collect and transmit information through the Shadow Gu."
"Naturally, they have to leave instructions in the Shadow Gu."
"These instructions not only include how to collect information but also how to transmit it."
"By carefully analyzing it, you can find out who is investigating you."
After a while, Fu Ji smiled slightly and said, "The analysis is almost done. I already know how the other party is transmitting information."
"Next time you enter the Spirit Realm, I can disguise the Shadow Gu to transmit some false information to them and find out who they are."
Another thing that made Fu Ji happy was that after absorbing the evil god power contained in this Shadow Gu, she finally recovered a little bit of strength.
Fu Ji thought to herself, "This way, when I go with Zhang Yu to take the exam next time, my safety will be greatly improved."
Zhang Yu said, "Are there any unspoken rules among you evil gods? For example, what do you do when you discover each other? Do you directly start a life-and-death battle? Or can you sit down and talk?"
Fu Ji said, "We evil gods are very reasonable and can distinguish right from wrong."
"Generally, when we encounter the weak, we eat them in one bite."
"When we encounter the strong, we turn around and run."
"When we encounter those with similar strength, we find their address and order them takeout as a warning."
Zhang Yu curled his lips and said, "Sure enough, you're reasonable."
Zhang Yu continued, "Then next time you enter the Spirit Realm, don't startle them first. Send some false information while figuring out their strength, location, manpower…"
Fu Ji said, "Do I even need you to tell me that? Once your strength is stronger and the opportunity is ripe, we'll skin and eat my colleague alive."
…
In the basement.
Song Xu slowly took off his Spirit Realm mask, thinking to himself, "The Shadow Gu has been successfully planted."
"Next is to wait for Zhang Yu and the others to log into the Spirit Realm next time."
"Then I'll know what secrets you have."
"If I can grasp the secrets on you, capture the evil god behind you, and stimulate my potential again…"
A hint of anticipation appeared in Song Xu's eyes, "Then I'll be more than 90% sure of getting into the Top Ten."
…
Early August.
In the following time, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen continued to devote themselves to crazy cultivation, making the final preparations for the first round of exams in mid-August.
This day, the two came to the live broadcast room to promote Xianyun Group's new body refining surgery as spokespersons together with Yu Xinghan.
The live streamer slapped two pieces of muscle in front of the camera.
"Two pectoral muscles!"
Then, several large pieces of muscle were thrown up.
"Here are eight abdominal muscles!"
"Here are the waist muscles, platysma, trapezius, latissimus dorsi…"
As the pieces of muscle piled up like a small mountain, the live streamer shouted, "How much will it cost to get so many imitation demon muscle modifications in the live broadcast room today?"
"299,000 to take it all!"
"All of them are Xianyun Group's latest technology, no hospitalization required, I'll say it again, no hospitalization required."
"Everyone goes to the clinic to cut off the muscles and send them to us. We'll cultivate them and send them back to you. After you install them, you can have the potential of a competition athlete!"
"And we guarantee ten times the compensation for any fake product. We will never use any demon beast muscles to impersonate imitation demon muscles."
"As long as one piece of muscle is fake, we'll compensate you with ten pieces!"
On the way out of the live broadcast room, Zhang Yu curiously asked Yu Xinghan, "Today's imitation demon muscle technology seems a bit off?"
Yu Xinghan said, "It's a little different, right? Isn't that obvious? For less than 300,000, how could it be the original technology? It's just a degraded version of a degraded version, used to let some people who can't afford the original have fun. It's impossible for everyone to use the best stuff, right?"
Zhang Yu opened his mouth, thought of the 200,000 endorsement fee that had already been received, and thought of his identity as an endorser, and ultimately said nothing.
…
Inside the apartment.
Zhang Yu was wiping the sweat off the floor.
This was what Zhang Yu had to do after each sparring session, as requested by Le Mulan, to ensure that her sweat was never leaked.
In front of Zhang Yu, Le Mulan said indifferently, "Last month's electricity bill was 80,000 yuan."
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
"What exactly are you doing in this room? Growing herbs?"
Zhang Yu was slightly stunned by the question and said perfunctorily, "Well, some training equipment consumes a lot of electricity."
"Don't worry, it won't cost so much electricity soon."
Zhang Yu felt the surging mana in his body. With the assistance of the spiritual vein and medicine, his mana increased extremely rapidly, rushing towards 90 units of mana.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It won't be long before I don't have to bask in the light and breathe out essence like that every day."
The next moment, Zhang Yu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Le Mulan noticed Zhang Yu clutching his chest and frowned, "Side effects of the medicine?"
"From what I've observed, without super metabolism… your medicine dosage in the past two months has indeed been a bit too much."
"I suggest you stop for a while."
"Anyway… you don't need to pursue the limit so much."
What Le Mulan was thinking was naturally that Zhang Yu wouldn't be participating in competitions or taking the Top Ten exams in the future, so why cultivate so extremely.
Zhang Yu nodded and said slowly, "Don't worry, I know my own body. It's not at the limit yet."
He thought to himself, "Compared to my body, my wallet is about to reach its limit. In a few days… I won't be able to afford this medicine even if I want to."
…
Mid-August.
The time finally came to the day before the first round of Foundation Establishment exams.
On the train heading to Xiandu City.
Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were silently breathing out essence, accumulating mana, physical strength, and energy.
After this half-month sprint, Zhang Yu's strength improved by leaps and bounds once again. His mana reached a level of , and his physical strength also reached level .
His Dao Heart finally broke through level 6, reaching level 6 (18%).
"In half a month, it will be September, and I will officially be a second-year high school student."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "But by that time, with my level, I should be able to surpass most White Dragon people who have just entered the third year of high school, right?"
Although he had achieved the goal he had set before, there was not much joy on Zhang Yu's face, because he knew that his goal was no longer ordinary White Dragon people, but those super high school students in Xiandu.
In addition to the crazy progress in strength, Zhang Yu's wallet was also being consumed wildly, all the way down to 50,000 yuan.
Obviously, in order to pass the next first round of Foundation Establishment exams, he didn't think about making money or saving money at all.
After all, in his opinion, if he didn't seize the time to improve his strength and strive to pass the first round of Foundation Establishment exams, then saving a little money would be meaningless.
"But whether I pass this exam or not, I have to find a way to get some more money when I go back this time."
As the train sped along, the aerial city of Xiandu once again appeared in Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's sight.
Getting off the train and looking at the dark sky above, Bai Zhenzhen said, "Yu Zi, how much money do you have left in your account?"
Zhang Yu said, "50,000 yuan."
Bai Zhenzhen nodded, "I have 40,000 yuan left. Do you know what that means?"
Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "What does it mean?"
Bai Zhenzhen said, "It means we're so poor that we can't even afford next month's loan."
"And recently, we've been taking too much medicine, and the side effects of our medicine have also begun to appear."
"Whether it's health or finances, the pressure and risks have reached an unprecedented level."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. Under the strong pressure of loans, exams, balances, drug side effects, etc., and with the operation of the Remnant Bull Sacrificing Body Heart Technique, he only felt his blood accelerating and his body becoming more and more excited.
Bai Zhenzhen continued, "…But it also shows that our Immortal Dao potential has been completely stimulated."
"We are so terribly strong now that we are no longer the same as we were two months ago."
"We will definitely pass this first round of exams this time."
Under the huge risks, Bai Zhenzhen's Cold Soul Ice Heart Technique operated intensely in her mind, and she also felt her muscles, nerves, and brain becoming more and more active.
After saying that, the two had already come to the stalls in the men's and women's restrooms respectively.
As they opened the webpage and clicked the button to enter, a large hole appeared under their feet, and they had disappeared together without a trace.
